Driving:

We don’t have to remind you, but if you are planning on driving to the game, be sure to leave plenty of time! CBP holds close to 44,000 fans, and as any Philly sports fan knows, the streets around the stadium complex can get congested.

Train:
Whether you hop on SEPTA’s Broad Street Line or take the PATCO High Speed Line in from New Jersey, the train may be your best option to avoid traffic headaches. Visit septa.org for more transportation info.

Bus:
Once again, SEPTA offers a variety of bus options to get you to the ballpark. Visit septa.org for more information.

First time at the stadium?
First Phillies Game at Citizens Bank Park Certificate are available free of charge inside every issue of the Phillies Magazine, which can be purchased at newsstands and from program vendors. For kids 14 and under who are attending their first game, individual certificates are available for free at Guest Services and the Birthday Check-In Desks.

Have to leave CBP early?
Be warned, CBP has a no re-entry policy!

Tickets

This is not the Phillies games of the 90s when you could walk up to The Vet and snag tickets minutes before the game. The Phils are contenders year in and year out, thus making access to tickets–pardon the pun–tough tickets.

Try to plan early. If you have a date in mind for a special occasion (birthday, date night, anniversary), be sure to jump on Phillies.com early enough to get the seats you want. If you choose to procrastinate, don’t be afraid to check sites like Stubhub and Craigslist. Great deals can be had on those sites if you do your homework.

Seating

For the most part, there isn’t a bad seat to be had at CBP. Standing room-only tickets are available, and many fans have been known to simply walk around the stadium as opposed to sitting in their assigned seats.

Inside CBP

So you’ve survived the commute and the traffic, and you are finally inside the stadium. A great meeting point is McFadden’s at the Ballpark. From great food to an array of alcoholic beverages, this is a good starting point.

In the mood to walk around the stadium and take in the sights? The concession stands at CBP are first class and were voted the “Best Ballpark Eats” by the Food Network in 2007.

Be sure to hit Ashburn Alley, which is located behind center field. Ashburn Alley is named after Phillies Hall of Fame center fielder Richie Ashburn.
